I just got this 93 in change at the dollar store. It has bubbly looking spots on both sides. Is it a mint error?

    probably plating bubbles. Rather extreme case. Kind of interesting. Generally not a lot of value to them.

    Nah

    Cents these days are copper plated zinc

    Those are bubbles in the plating

    Isn’t that a sad testament to US cents?

    Just plating bubbles, no numismatic premium. Sad state of circulating U.S. cents today. Cheers, RickO

    Today's cents just can't standup to deterioration from being circulated or from being in a penny jar.
    They will always corrode especially if they get wet.

    It is a good example of plating bubbles but has no numismatic premium. Just an educational item.

    Here is a bubbly one I had graded, MS68 - $32.00
    You'll need 68+ or 69 for any real premium.
